FIGS. 1 and 2 are respectively an exploded perspective view and a cross-sectional view illustrating a semiconductor package using a polymer substrate according to an embodiment of the disclosure.

As illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2, a MEMS device 100 may for example comprise a total of three substrates, that is, an upper substrate 110, a lower substrate 130, and a cavity substrate 120 interposed between the upper substrate 110 and the lower substrate 130.

The upper substrate 110 may comprise a rectangular polymer sheet formed in an injection-molding process using a polymer material, for example.

A first semiconductor chip 111 and a second semiconductor chip 112 may be attached side by side to the upper substrate 110 molded from inexpensive polymer material.

The first semiconductor chip 111, which may comprise a MEMS chip, has a membrane 113 that senses a sound wave in a hole formed at the center of the chip, so as to be useful in microphones, handheld microphones, etc.

A plurality of first conductive patterns 114 may be formed using a plating process at one side of one surface of the upper substrate 110 so that the semiconductor chips 111, 112 may be conductively connected to the cavity substrate 120. The patterns 114 may be formed through a plating process before attachment of the semiconductor chips after injection-molding of the upper substrate 110.

Bonding pads of the first semiconductor chip 111 and bonding pads of the second semiconductor chip 112 may be electrically coupled utilizing first conductive wires 115, and bonding pads of the second semiconductor chip 112 and the first conductive patterns 114 of the upper substrate 110 may be electrically coupled utilizing second conductive wires 116.

A ground shield layer 117 for shielding electromagnetic waves may also be formed through plating, for example, on the edge of the upper substrate 110 when plating the first conductive patterns 114. The ground shield layer 117 may be electrically coupled to the ground shield material of the cavity substrate 120, as described below.

The cavity substrate 120 is provided in the form of a rectangular frame having a vertical through hole and may be formed through injection-molding, for example, using an inexpensive polymer material.

After injection-molding of the cavity substrate 120, a plurality of second conductive patterns 121, which may be conductively connected to the first conductive patterns 114 of the upper substrate 110 and to third conductive patterns 131 of the lower substrate 130, may be formed through a plating process on one surface and the inner wall of the cavity substrate 120.

The cavity substrate 120 may be injection-molded using a polymer material, for example, so that ground shield forming grooves 122 may be formed on the outer surface of one side of the cavity substrate 120. As such, the ground shield forming grooves 122 may be plated with a ground shield material thereby forming ground traces 123. In addition, a conductive pattern 118 may be formed at an outer perimeter of the cavity substrate 120, which may be utilized for a ground shield in conjunction with the ground traces 123.

The mold structure for injection-molding of the cavity substrate 120 may be configured to form an injection-molded product for the ground shield forming grooves 122, and thus the ground shield forming grooves 122 may be formed with a desired thickness, or depth, on the outer surface of one side of the cavity substrate 120. The ground shield forming grooves 122 may be plated with the ground shield material to form ground traces 123 using a plating process, for example. Other techniques, such as deposition techniques may also be utilized.

One end of the ground traces 123 may be electrically coupled to the ground shield layer 117 of the upper substrate 110 when the substrates are coupled, and the other end thereof may be electrically coupled to the third conductive patterns 131 of the lower substrate 130. The ground traces 123 may therefore provide a ground shield of side surfaces of the MEMS device 100 because the ground shield layer 117, the ground traces 123 and the ground, and conductive pattern 118 effectively surround the devices in the cavity.

The lower substrate 130 may be mounted so as to enable the exchange of electrical signals on a mother board of an electronic device (e.g. a microphone, etc.), and may comprise a printed circuit board (PCB) structure for efficient exchange of electrical signals with the electronic device.

The lower substrate 130 may be configured such that a plurality of third conductive patterns 131 may be electrically coupled to the second conductive patterns 121 of the cavity substrate 120. The third conductive patterns 131 may be on an opposite surface of the ball lands 132, which may be electrically coupled to the third conductive patterns 131 by conductive vias.

When the upper substrate 110, the cavity substrate 120, and the lower substrate 130 are stacked by means of a conductive adhesive member, the first conductive patterns 114 of the upper substrate 110 may be electrically coupled to the second conductive patterns 121 of the cavity substrate 120, and the second conductive patterns 121 of the cavity substrate 120 may be electrically coupled to the third conductive patterns 131 of the lower substrate 130.

Furthermore, when the upper substrate 110, the cavity substrate 120, and the lower substrate 130 are stacked, the ground shield layer 117 of the upper substrate 110 and the ground traces 123 of the cavity substrate 120 may be electrically coupled, and the ground traces 123 of the cavity substrate 120 may be electrically coupled to the third conductive patterns 131 of the lower substrate 130.

I/O terminals 134, such as solder balls, may be fused on, bonded to, or formed on the ball lands 132 of the lower substrate 130, thereby completing the fabrication of the MEMS device-type semiconductor package using the polymer substrate according to the present disclosure.

In operation, the membrane 113 of the first semiconductor chip 111, which is the MEMS chip, vibrates when a sound wave is introduced to the semiconductor package. As such, the membrane 113 easily vibrates as long as a space behind it is provided.

Thus, the vibration signal of the membrane 113 may be transmitted from the first semiconductor chip 111 to the second semiconductor chip 112, which may comprise an ASIC chip (e.g., an application-specific integrated circuit chip for processing sensor signals from the first semiconductor chip 111). The vibration signal may then be processed into an electrical signal, after which the electrical signal may sequentially pass through the first conductive patterns 114 of the upper substrate 110, the second conductive patterns 121 of the cavity substrate 120, and the third conductive patterns 131 of the lower substrate 130, and then output to a mother board of an electronic device (e.g. a microphone) through the IO terminals 134 of the lower substrate 130.

An electromagnetic wave from an external source may, for example, impact the ground shield layer 117 of the upper substrate 110, and the energy associated with the electromagnetic wave is shunted to ground through the ground shield material 123 of the cavity substrate 120, the third conductive patterns 131 and IO terminals 134 of the lower substrate 130, and a grounded portion of the mother board of the electronic device (e.g. a microphone).

When the MEMS device is manufactured by stacking three substrates in this way, the lower substrate 130, which is mounted on the electronic device, may for example be formed of a PCB, the upper substrate 110 and the cavity substrate 120 may for example be injection-molded of a polymer material, and the conductive patterns may be plated on the surfaces thereof as required, thereby significantly reducing the manufacturing cost over prior designs while maintaining performance.

FIGS. 3 and 4 are respectively an exploded perspective view and a cross-sectional view illustrating a printed circuit board (PCB) MEMS device. The PCB MEMS device may for example be manufactured using a total of three PCBs, including an upper substrate 10, a lower substrate 30, and a cavity substrate 20 interposed between the upper substrate 10 and the lower substrate 30.

The upper substrate 10 may be configured such that a semiconductor chip attachment region 12 is formed on one surface thereof, and first conductive patterns 14 for wire bonding are formed to be exposed on the outer periphery of the semiconductor chip attachment region 12.

The cavity substrate 20 is provided in the form of a rectangular frame, the top and bottom of which are open, and one side of which is formed with conductive via holes 22 (or conductive vias 22) that electrically coupled to the first conductive patterns 14.

The lower substrate 30 may be configured such that second conductive patterns 32, which are conductively connected to the conductive via 22 in the cavity substrate 20, are formed on one surface, and ball lands 34, which are electrically coupled to the second conductive patterns 32 by the conductive vias 22, may be formed on an opposite surface.

Thus, a first semiconductor chip 40, which may comprise a MEMS chip having a membrane 42, may be attached to the semiconductor chip attachment region 12 of the upper substrate 10, and a second semiconductor chip 44, which may comprise an ASIC chip (e.g., an application-specific integrated circuit chip for processing sensor signals from the first semiconductor chip 40), may be attached adjacent to the first semiconductor chip 40.

The first semiconductor chip 40 and the second semiconductor chip 44 (e.g., respective bonding pads thereof) may be electrically coupled by first conductive wires 46, and the second semiconductor chip 44 (e.g., bond pads thereof) and the conductive patterns 14 of the upper substrate 10 may be electrically coupled by second conductive wires 48.

The cavity substrate 20 may then be coupled to one surface of the upper substrate 10 utilizing a conductive adhesive member, such that at the surface where the semiconductor chips 40 and 44 are attached, the conductive patterns 14 of the upper substrate 10 and the via holes 22 of the cavity substrate 20 may be electrically coupled.

The lower substrate 30 may be stacked on and attached to the cavity substrate 20, whereby the via holes 22 in the cavity substrate 20 and the conductive patterns 32 of the lower substrate 30 may be electrically coupled.

Finally, input/output (IO) terminals 36, such as solder balls, may be fused on, coupled to, or formed on the ball lands 34 of the lower substrate 30, thereby completing a MEMS device using three PCBs.

FIG. 5 illustrates a two-piece semiconductor package using a polymer substrate, in accordance with an example embodiment of the disclosure. Referring to FIG. 5, there is shown a MEMS device 500 comprising two substrates, that is, a cavity structure 510 and a lower substrate 130. The MEMS device 500 is shown inverted, i.e., with the cavity structure 510 on the bottom to show the interior of the cavity structure 510.

The cavity structure 510 may comprise both a rectangular sheet and a rectangular frame formed in an injection-molding process using a polymer material, for example. A first semiconductor chip 111 and a second semiconductor chip 112 may be attached side by side to the upper substrate 100 molded from polymer material. The cavity structure 510 may comprise a vertical through hole beneath the first semiconductor chip 111.

The first semiconductor chip 111, which may comprise a MEMS chip, has a membrane 113 that senses a sound wave in a hole formed at the center of the chip, so as to be useful in microphones, etc.

A plurality of first conductive patterns 511 may be formed using a plating process on inner surfaces of the cavity structure 510 so that the semiconductor chips 111, 112 may be conductively connected to the cavity structure 510. The patterns 511 may be formed through a plating process before attachment of the semiconductor chips after injection-molding of the cavity structure 510.

In addition, ground shield forming grooves 122 may be formed on the outer surfaces of the cavity structure 510, with the ground shield forming grooves 122 plated with a ground shield material thereby forming ground traces 123.

Bonding pads of the first semiconductor chip 111 and the bonding pads of the second semiconductor chip 112 may be electrically coupled utilizing first conductive wires 115, and bonding pads of the second semiconductor chip 112 and the first conductive patterns 114 of the cavity structure 510 may be electrically coupled utilizing second conductive wires 116.

After injection-molding of the cavity structure 510, a plurality of second conductive patterns 121, which may be conductively connected to the conductive patterns 511 of the upper substrate 110, may be formed through a plating process on the cavity structure 510. Accordingly, the conductive patterns 511 may extend from pads near the chips 111, 112 across the bottom surface of the cavity in the cavity structure 510, up the sidewalls of the cavity, and to a top surface where they are coupled to the second conductive patterns 121.

The mold structure for injection-molding of the cavity structure 510 may be configured to form an injection-molded product for the ground shield forming grooves 122, and thus the ground shield forming grooves 122 may be formed with a desired thickness, or depth, on the outer surface of one or more sides of the cavity structure 510. The ground shield forming grooves 122 may be plated with the ground shield material to form ground traces 123 using a plating process, for example. Other techniques, such as deposition techniques may also be utilized.

One end of the ground traces 123 may be electrically coupled to a ground shield layer of the cavity structure 510, such as the ground shield layer 117 shown in FIG. 2. The lower substrate 130 may be mounted so as to enable the exchange of electrical signals on a mother board of an electronic device (e.g. a microphone, etc.), and may comprise a printed circuit board (PCB) structure for efficient exchange of electrical signals with the electronic device.

The lower substrate 130 may be configured such that a plurality of third conductive patterns 131 may be electrically coupled to the second conductive patterns 121 of the cavity structure 510. The third conductive patterns 131 may be on an opposite surface of the ball lands 132, which may be electrically coupled to the third conductive patterns 131 by conductive vias.

The cavity structure 510 may also comprise a ground trace 513 on the top and inner surface of the cavity down to the bottom surface on which the die 111, 112 are bonded, and may be coupled to a ground shield layer, such as ground shield layer 117 shown in FIG. 2.

When the cavity structure 510 and the lower substrate 130 are stacked by means of a conductive adhesive member, the second conductive patterns 121 of the cavity structure 510 may be electrically coupled to the third conductive patterns 131 of the lower substrate 130.

I/O terminals 134, such as solder balls, may be fused on, bonded to, or formed on the ball lands 132 of the lower substrate 130, thereby completing the fabrication of the MEMS device-type semiconductor package using the polymer substrate according to the present disclosure.

In operation, when a sound wave is introduced to the semiconductor package, the membrane 113 of the first semiconductor chip 111, which is the MEMS chip, vibrates. As such, the membrane 113 easily vibrates as long as a space (or back cavity) is provided behind it.

The vibration signal of the membrane 113 may be transmitted from the first semiconductor chip 111 to the second semiconductor chip 112, which may comprise an ASIC chip (e.g., an application-specific integrated circuit chip for processing sensor signals from the first semiconductor chip 111). The vibration signal may then be processed into an electrical signal, after which the electrical signal may sequentially pass through the first and second conductive patterns 114 and 121 of the cavity structure 510, the third conductive patterns 131 of the lower substrate 130, and then output to a mother board of an electronic device (e.g. a microphone) through the I/O terminals 134 of the lower substrate 130.

The lower substrate 130 may be as described previously, and the upper substrate 610 may be similar to the cavity structure 510, formed by injection molding and comprising traces 511 for electrically coupling the conductive patterns 121 to the second semiconductor chip 112.

In addition, a ground trace 617 on the top (as shown) surface of the upper substrate 610 may be coupled to a ground trace on the lower substrate 130. The lid 620 may comprise an injection molded polymer piece for protecting the bottom (as shown) surface of the upper substrate 610 and may comprise an orifice 601 that provides access to the first semiconductor chip 111 (e.g., the MEMS device).

In an example embodiment of the disclosure, a semiconductor package using a polymer substrate may be provided, wherein a total of three substrates, including an upper substrate, a lower surface, and a cavity substrate interposed between the upper and the lower substrate, may be provided, and the upper substrate and the cavity substrate, may be injection-molded utilizing a polymer material, and conductive patterns may be plated on the surfaces thereof, thus considerably reducing the manufacturing cost, as well as decreasing the number of manufacturing processes.
